REVIVAL LEADERS. REV. D. MARDY DAVIES. The Rev. P Mardy Davies, who it acting with such conspicuous ability as the secre- tary of Mr. Evan Roberts, is the popular pastor of Bethel Calvinistic Methodist Church, Pontycymmer. When the Garw Valley began to be stirred with the reports of wonderful meetings at I/oughor and Trecynon, a general feeling was expressed that an effort should be made to induce Mr. Evan Roberts to pay a visit. The Rev. D. Mardy Davies undertook the task of seeing the Revivalist, whom he induced to come to Pontycymmer-with what wonderful i results all the Welsh and Engish speaking world knows. It was during the three days which Mr. Evan Roberts spent at Ponty- cymmer that the fame of the Revival spread most rapidly. Mr. Roberts's correspondence increased in such a degree that he was totally unable to keep paoe with it. Now the Rev. D. Mardy Davies stepped in. at his request, and became secretary to the Revival leader, and since that time he has conducted i a world-wide correspondence on his behalf. The Rev. D. Mardy Davies is the son of Mr. Daniel Davies. of Bank Villa. Porth. Born at Cwmbach, Abardare. on November 39, 1865, he moved with his parents to Mardy when ten years of age. He was educated at Trecynon Gra.mmar School and at Trefecra, College, Talgartb, where he remained four years. Subsequently he accepted in 1S91 a call to Pontycymmer, and has remained in that place-to the delight of an ever-increasing congregation and the satisfaction of all inte- rested in the valley. Something of his orga- nising abilities oan be understood from the fact that a debt of £900 on the chapel has during his pastorate been wiped out; the membership has increased from 165 to 270: and he has acted as secretary to the relief fund in connection with the terrible Llest Colliery explosion, by which JE600 was raised. As a member of the Llangeinor School Board ho was the means of introducing moral and religious teaching into the schools under the I board's control. He has been for the last seven years teacher of Welsh under the Gla- morgan County Council, has acted as secre- tary to the Foreign Mission Fund of the West Glamorgan Calvinistic Methodists; i3 now acting as secretary of the Sunday School Union, and was last month elected chairman for the present year of the West Glamorgan Calvinistic Methodist Monthly Meeting. Not only does Mr. Davies transact all Mr. Evan Roberts's correspondence, but he acts in the same capacity for Mr. Dan Roberts. and Mr. Sidney Evans, organising meetings for the two latter Revivalists. His world- wide correspondence comprises applications for Mr. Evan Roberts's services, requests for rrayers. for message*, and for solutions of difficulties. The Rev. Mardy Davies transacts mopt of this business at his Pontycymmer home. He has only been able to carry out the task with the assistance of the members of his own Church, who since the commence- ment of the Revival have carried on much of the work which hitherto fell on their pastor's shoulders REV. G. PENAR GRIFFITHS. The Rev. G. Penar Griffiths waø horn at Trecynon, Aberdare, on tko 4th Of October, 11860, just on the spot where his old and ro\ered master, Rev. R. Jenkyn Jones, M.A., resides at present—Bron Iestin. He worked underground in Cwmdare from nine-and-a- half years old till 21, and studied Welsh grammar and the laws of Welsh poetry when a. mere boy. He used to carry Butler's Analogy," and other theological works underground, and studied them when times permitted. He entered the Congregational ministry, and was ordained at Merthyr Vale in 1884. Married Miss Mary Rees, of Tre- cynon, in 1885, who has proved a real help. Built a. chapel there. Removed to Pentre, Swansea, in 1887. Has been very successful at the latter place. The large chapel is continually full. Membership was 687 prior to the stoppage at Cwmfelin Tinworks a number of years ago, when Church trans- fers were given to 229 members in the course of eighteen months. Prior to the Revival. the membership was 600, and 2:6 ha.ve been added since. Mr. Griffiths is now president of the Swan- sea Christian Endeavour Union-th3 first Welch minister to preside. Ha has received many calls to other Churches, but has elected to stay at Pentre, Swansea. He was chaired for poems at Barmouth, Llandudno, Wrexham and Swan- sea. In prose he was successful in the National Eisteddfod for the best historical and critical essay on "Welsh Hymnologists," History of Welsh Missionaries," and at the Newport National Eisteddfod sacured. the JB50 prize for the best production on Welsh Poets and Poetry of the Nineteenth Cen- tury." The essay on "Webh Missionaries" was published and was sold out. At the request of the Sunday school committee of the Wels:.b. Congregational Union, he prepared two handbooks on the "Acts of the Apostles,' and is now engaged on the third of the series. "PeiKir" lectures on "Weteh Hym- nolog-is'tis," "The Welsh Pulpit," "Gwilym Hira/ethog," a.nd "My Nation at the Stile." Mr. Griffiths has taken great interest in the Welsh Revival from its very start; has visited important centres, and had many opportunities of meeting Mr. Evan Roberts, and is a great admirer of him. Mr. Evan Roberts staged at Penar's" home for a number of days, and they had cause to be glad of his visit. Penar" has conducted meetings during this Revival at Bethel and Waunfawr, North Wales; at Hanover. Moun- tain Ash, Llanelly, Swansea, Cwmbwrla, and Waunarlwyid. He has been asked to visit many places in North Wales, and has promised to start at Portmadoc at the end of this month a tour of North Wales. REV. T. F. HULME. Mr. Hulme was born at Torquay in 1856. He is a sou of the Manee. The great change of heart, and life that turned his thoughts definitely towards the pulpit took place at King-swood School. He began to preach in the Altrincham Circuit at the age of eighteen, and entered the Wesleyan ministry in 1878. He graduated at Trinity College, Dublin. After guccessful terms in various circuits Mr. Hulme was called to Cambridge. Here his ministry to the undergraduates was greatly blessed, in whose interests he and Mrs. Hulme kept open house. His next appoint- ment was to the Brunswiok Circuit. New- cast'e-on-Tyne. From there he was called to the work of a. Connexional Evangeligt. Then an unexpected vacancy arose at the Cathedral of Methodism (City-road, London), and the .conference selected Mr. Hulme to fill this important position. A still greater honour, however, awaited him, and the next year he wa.s appointed Governor of the Conmexional School. It was soon evident to him that the duai coiiurol of the sohool was in every way unsatisfactory and he set himself to prepare the way for the time when the dual control should be abolished, and the whole school placed under the sole haadmasrtership of Mr. Walter P. Workman, M.A. When this was accomplished Mr. Hulme returned with gresit zeet to circuit work, and was appointed by the conference of 1903 to the siiperintendenoy of the King-street Circuit, Bristol. In Bristol he has identified himself with almost every form of aggressive Christian work. He is heart and soul in sympathy with the Revival in Wales, and is throwing himself with characteristic energy and devotion into the Revival movement in Bristol. Just at pre- sent he is organising a series of meetings at the various Free Churches in North Bristol, which must assuredly inspire and energrise the religious life of the whole neighbourhood. MR. EMLYN DA VIES. Mr. Emlyn Davies, the celebrated baritone, was born at Cefnmawr. North Wales, in 187Q. and it is interesting to note that his father. was precentor of the same c.hapel for 43 years. Emlyn" left home for London in 1893. and won a three years' scholarship worth £ 60 a year and tuition at the Royal, College of Music, where he afterwards received an extension of one year. He has silica then been singing in every hall of note in London and for the best societies, whUe there are few provincial towns in which he has not appeared, and his singing at the concerts and in the ordinary day proceed- ings of the National Eisteddfod of Wales may be taken as an indication of the position he holds in the national life of musical Wa-lee. His success as a conductor of musical festivals (cymanfaoedd ca-nu) is well known, and. in conjunction with the Rev. R. B. Jones (now of Ynyshir), he has taken a very pro- minent part in carrying on Revival services, especially in North Wales. It may be added that Mr. Emlyn Da.vies not only sings, but delivers brief addresses of a practical character in Welsh and English. Some idea of the interest he takes in Revival work may be gathered from the fact that, although he had to go away to Festiniog for a Cymanfa Ganu on Thursday, he travelled hack to Porth on Friday, and took port in the service held that night at Porth. MR. HOWE. Revival services ha.ve been held at Garn- diffaith during the last mouth, being con- ducted by Mr. Howe and others. The services have been of a very enthusiastic nature throughout, resulting in over 200 converts being added to the Church of the neighbour- hood. There have been many instances where practically whole families have given them- selves to the services of Christ, also whole Sunday School Classes. Mr. Howe is a converted actor, having been on the stage a number of years. He was converted about four months ago at a meeting at the Town-hall. Pontypridd, which was held under the auspices of the Ffoartypridd and District Total Aœtinenoo Union (of which he is a member). He Pos- sesses a very powerful baritone voice, which he uses to advantage in his services.

PRINCIPAL EDWARDS AT RISCA, At Bethany Chapel, Risca, on Sunday, the thirty-first anniversary of the commencement of the pastorate of the Rev. D. Thomas was celebrated. Principal Edwards, of Cardiff, officiated at both services, and in the evening, at the request of a large section of the con- gregation, gave an account of his experiences of the revival, especially as they concerned the movement in Cardiff. He spoke of the unique character of the work in that town— mainly rescue work-and dealt with the points on which it differed from the revival work in Wales generally. Numerous instances he mentioned where some of the lowest charac- ters had been re-claimed to useful Christian lives. The salient features of the revival, he felt, were its joyousness, its spontaneity, the great part which young people and women had shared in it. and, above all. its purifying effect on the spiritual life of the Churches. That the revival wa.s sure to spread he thought was evident from the mere fact that it had attracted so many visitors, not only from England and Scotland, but from America and nearly all the countries of Europe. GREAT WORK AT ABERTILLERY. A Ebenezcr Baptist Chapel. AbertiHery (pastor, the Rev. D. Collier), on Sunday 38 people were baptised, five of whom came for- ward out of the audience without any pre- arrangement. One of the converts was a gentleman of position, who livee about a. mile from the town. he would have to walk back to his home after the baptism in a soaked condition had not gome friends found him dry clothes. The w<y?k before last seventeen converts came in the aame way- Before the revival the Church liad 500 members, and there have now been in addition to this 630 converts. The chapel on Sunday night was uncomfortably crowded, and aJbout a. hundred members went out to the square and a very large meeting was held here, those who failed to gain admission to the cha.pel joining. CANON NEWBOLT AT BARRY. In connection with the annual patronal festival, the Rev. canon Newbolt, M.A., resi- dentia.ry canon of St. Paul's Cathedral, was the preacher at st. Paul's Clmrctl- Barry, on Sunday. In the evening Canon Newbolt, describing how saintly character is built np, said it was hard to be good—there were countless difficulties in the way—and with- out the aid of Christ it was impossible. We did not try nearly enough to be good. We must strive hard, strive often, and strive con- stantly. It was nutrue to suggest than any- one was born into the world who was not possessed of power to resist evil. It was also a fallacy to suggest that we were wholly wha.t heredity and surroundings made us. BAPTISMAL SERVICES AT PONTY- PRIDD. At the Tabernacle Welsh Eaptist Chapel, Pontypridd, on Sunday a baptismal service was conducted by the Rev. J. R. Jones (pastor), when sixteen candidates were bap- tised by immersion in the presence of an exceptionally large congregation. The ser- vices throughout were impressive. There are now Z7 converts before the Tabernacle Churoh, and there are also fifteen back- sliders awaiting re-instaiement, thus making the total number of converts at the Taber- nacle ainoe the beginning revival uP wards of lOt.

FOURTEEN WIVES. CHICAGO'S BLUEBEARD CON- FRONTED BY FOUR. Johann Hoch, the Chicago Bluebeard, reached Chicago from New York on Thursday. Fourteen women. who thoug-ht be might have been their missing husband, had made inquiry about Hooh to the police, and there was a crowd of 4,000 people at the station when the prisoner arrived. "Where are the fourteen wivesP" inquired Hocll as he surveyed the crowd, and the detective replied They must have missed us; we are late." Hoch was taken to the police-station, where several thousand people had collected to see him. Hoch was evidently pleased with the notoriety he was enjoying, and bowed and smiled to the crowd. In- side the police-station he was confronted by four of the women who claimed him as an ex-husband. Hooh denied that he was legally n,arried to two of them, and one woman con- fessed that when she was ma,rried. to Hoch JOHANN HOCH. (The modern Bluebeard.) I sh) had a husband alive from whom she had not been divorced. Another said, "He is not my man," and Hoch retorted. Thanks, I'm grateful. You run away home. or I may marry you before you get there." Hoch was confronted by Mrs. Fischer, the most recent of the wives, who eaid. "You stole my £ 100." "I didn't steal them," replied Hooh; "you gave them to me to keep, and I kept them." Mrs. Sohn identified Hooh as a man who married two of her sisters—Mrs. Fischer and Mrs. Walker. Hoch, on seeing her, sa,id, Who's that crazy woman? I'm dissatisfied. I thought she was going to be one of my wives." Hodh's aallies greatly amused the onlookers. INQUEST ON THE BODY OF ONE OF HIS WIVES. The inquest on the body of Mm. Walker, one of Hoch's wives, was opoen.ed on Thursday night week. A doctor gave evidence of traces of arsenic being found in the body. Hooh waB present a.t the inquest, and was closely questioned about his marriages. After several hours examination he admitted ten wives. He sta-ted that he married two women in 1894, three last year, and five during the intervening period. With regard to the white powder found in his fountain pen, whioh he at first said was tootihpowder, he admitted that it was poison, and that he intecded to commit suicide wiitth. it. Mrs. Fisoher Hooh, the dead woman's sister, described minutely the last hours of the deceased. Hoch's courtship of herself before the body was fairly cold, their marriage a few days later, and Hoch's aba-ndonment of her, taking £140. the amount of her savings. No evidence of poisoning, however, was given. HIS BERLIN WIFE. It is ftapposed that one of the victims of Jacob Schmidt (alias Hoch) a. woman from Berlin, who is pefenred to in the papens as Clara B Tthe woman, went to America, and bought a. houee in Cincinnati. There she married Hccfii on August 7, 1896, and shortly afterwards wrote home to her siater inform- ing her of her happiness. She refefrred to her husband's viirtues in glowing terms. On January 15, 1897, she died suddenly, and on the 17th of the same month Hoch wrote to her relatives telling them that he had given his wife a Christian burial. By her will she left all her money to her husband. Hoch added that he and his wife had kept a beer saloon, and that he would shortly arrive in Europe to enter into possession of a legacy which his father had left him, but that he would not be able to visit Berlin. The revelations concerning Hoch ha.ve given rise to the supposition that he also murdered his Berlin wife. The relatives of the latter have already taken the necessary steps through the Foreign Office to secure infor- mation as to the cause of the woman's death.

IMPRISONED FIVE YEARS REMARKABLE REVELATIONS IN PARIS. An extraordinary caøe of forcible detention has just been made public by we interven- tion of the Pairie police. By some means not yet erpladned the judicial authorities became aware that Count De Sempigny d'lseoncourt, aged 60 years, was a prisoner in his own' <bou»e, No. 17 Boulevard, by has two aarvthnfta, a man named Sabourrat and his wife. The two domestics had in the count's service for over twenty years, but during the poet five years the man and woman had taken over the establishment into their own hands,1 and had kept the ooant a close prisoner. On Friday the police went to the house, and th-ere found the count and the two servants. The count declared that the couple had kept him in a constant state of terror, and had prevented him from leaving the place. They had, further, he øaoid. compelled him to take doses of ether, and to make out a will leaving to them the whole of his property, the esti- mated vaJue of which is over a million and a. half francs. The police turned Sabourrat and his wife out of the house, and warned them not to return, and have handed over the old count to the care of the Marquis De Brignon, who is a relative. Whether the Sabourrats will be prosecuted depends upon the result of the inquiry which is now being oonducted by the police.—Central News.

ABERCARN EXPLOSION, MINE NOT CLEAR OF AFTERDAMP; REMOVAL OF THE BODIES. The disaster at the Prince of Wales Colliery, The d. at Aberoam, near Newport, in 1878, when 260 men lost their lives, has been re-called during the past few days by the re-opening of the workings. Plugs had been made, and foul air let off. On Sunday experts descended the shaft and entered the old workings. They found the a,fter<±a*mP had not sufficiently evaporarted, but declared that the bodies could be removed in a day or two.

AN EXPRESS BREAKS DOWN. ANOTHER ACCIDENT NEAR LOUGHOR. The 11.20 er-London express engine Queens- land broke down at Ixnighor, near Llanelly, on the Oreat Western Railway at four o clock on Wednesday afternoon, the train coming to a sudden standstill. It was found that the side rod had snapped. After a delay of twenty minutes the express lesumed its jour- ney to Milford. A very strange coincidence is afforded by the accident of Wednesday being within a quarter of a mile of the Loughor disaster in October, when five persons were killed.

Sill EDWARD REED. DECIDES TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT. The following announcement appears in the political notes of the "Times": — "Sir Edward Reed, who was returned in 1900 for Cardiff to support Imperial interests in the House of Commons, has notified the proper authorities that, in the present state of public affaire, he is not prepared to vote against the Government on any of the amendments to -the Address which have so far been published or projected. "He does not consider that the Opposition is sufficiently recognising the important work which the Government is performing abroad in pursuance of British interests, with a very careful regard to the preservation of peace, and he does not think it would be wise to d'i&place the present Government without being well assured that any new Government which might be formed would caj-ry on those objects with the same success. "He has accordingly notified the Unionist party that he will support the present Government in existing circumstances. "This a.ttitude of Sir Edward Reed, as the member for Cardiff, can hwnNy afford ground for much complaint in Cardiff itself, because the Liberal party there have adopted as their candidate for the next Parliament the Conservative member for Plymouth."

FINANCES OF THE REVIVAL. MR. EVAN ROBERTS AND THE CARDIFF "FEE." Prom time to time insinuations are made tha.t Mr. Evan Roberts and the other revi- valists are in receipt of large sums ci money, and that they will not go to any cha-pel unless the fee is satisfactory and assured. These insinuations are as base as they are untrue. That the revivalists do roceive tfertain sums is true, otherwise they would have to beg their way. But it is absolutely untrue to state that either Mr. Roberts or his col leagues bargain for their services. The statements to the contrary, though persistent, have not hitherto been definite enough to be made the subject of inquiry. Lately, however, it has been reported that the real reason, for Mr. Roberta's refusal to visit Cardiff was the inability of the Cardiff people to meet his terms. Everybody who has any knowledge of Mr. Roberts knows wha.t a. scandialous libel on his unselfish self-eacrifice this is. but in order to secure categorical denials to the story our reporters on Tuesday saw the Rev. Maerdy Davies (who arranges Mr. Roberta's I engagements), and the Rev. J. Morgan Jones, who endeavoured to arrange the Cardiff visit. The Rev. Maerdy Davies said it had already occurred to him that something should be saiu in contradiction of these rumours, although he did not suppose that I any statement from the same or eimilar source would stop these false rumours. "Then." suggested our reporter, "we may contradict these insinuations?" "Certainly you may," was the reply. Monetary considerations had nothing to do with Mr. Roberts's decision not to come to Cardiff. No conditions as to fees are la.id down when any meetings are arranged. Whatever contributions may be made to the inevitable expenses are absolutely unasked." Another of our reporters who called upon the Rev. J. Morgan Jones, the secretary of the Cardiff committee, found this rev. gentle- man even more emphatic. "There was no mention of money between us and Mr. Evan Roberts," he declared. "Tha.t subject was in no way referred to in any communication either to him or to Mr. Maerdy Davies, and although we had fixed a eum which should be given Mr. Roberts in consideration of his expenses—and it was not at a low figure-he had, no idea what it I would be. He never asked us to give him any sum, or suggested in any way that he would be prepared to accept any particular amount." "Did you in any way suggest to him that he might accept any specified sum?" was asked. "No, not all," sa.id Mr. Jones emphati- cally. "It i* ft story invented merely to dis- credit. the revival and to defame Mr. Ev-o Roberts. I am oertain he gave an honest reason when he said, I was told by the Spirit not to go.' Whether that idea arose from physical wea-kness or whether he had a. direct communication from the Spirit I cannot say. But I am perfectly sure he was honest in his belief tha.t he had such a. com- munication." "If," Mr. Jones went on. "it was a question whether he should come to Cardiff or Nanty- moel for monetary reasons, we in Cardiff could give him three times as much as he could get there. Why. if he were merely on a. money-making game, Cardiff would he the first place he would come to."

IN THE EASTERN VALLEYS HOW A COLLIER RECORDED HIS CONVERSION. The revival shows no sign of aiharfenrent in the Pontypool district. Street disturbances have become conspicuous by their absence, and the fact that there lias not been a single fight, at the bottom of Hign-street, which was always regarded as the prize ring" of Pontypool, is put down to the good influence of the revival. There was a dramatic scene at a recent revival meeting at Sebastopol. when a man walked up to the platform and, drawing out a slip of paper with the word "Gambler" written boldly across it. said: "While nomi- nally a. Christian, that is what I have been. Judas received 30 pieces of silver. I backed the winner of the Derby and received 31. God helping me, I have done with it." Cries of Amen greeted this remark. At one of the united prayer meetings at Upper Cwmbran a mechanic employed at I the Cwmbran Colliery related how he was surprised one morning to hear a collier whom he had always regarded as a loathsome Character singing in his stall, Jesus loves me." In the roadway near by was a tram of coal upon which had been chalked God is Love," Jeeus is my Saviour." The tram also bore the signature of the reformed workman and the date of his conversion. Asked by the mechanic what he thought of the revival, the collier joyfully exclaimed, It has been the greatest blessing in my life."

MB. DAN ROBERTS IN THE RHONDDA. Mr. Dan Roberts. Miss Maggie Davies (MaestefT), and Miss S. A. Jones concluded on Friday night their three weeks' mission in the Mid-R-hondda. It will be remeTnbered that these evangelists held meetings for a, week at Llwynypia, and then returned to the same district and continued a week in Tonypandy. Penygraig, Trealaw. and Dinas, where services of a most remarkable cbar- acter were held. It was stated that the meetings held on Thursday and Friday were of a most enthusiastic and exciting descrip- tion. The mis&io:i throughout has been a marked suocens, and the revival fire in Mid- Rhondda has blazed out considerably in con- sequence of the awakening which has taken place in the various churches visited.

POWERS OF ARREST. JUDGE OWEN EXPLAINS THE II LAW. His Honour Judge Owen spoke out in no unmistakable way at Newport County-court on Thursday as to the conduct of the police in the matter of their right to arrest persons without a warrant or without seeing a crime committed, or about to be committed. The effect of his dictum will probably be to create quite a resolution in police practice The matter arose in the case of Robert Simmonds v. Joseph Phillips, in which the plaintiff (a youth), claimed £1 128. 4d., in respect of two days' employment at 3s. per day, and the balance of the value of a suit of clothes, or as damages for their seizure under a threat of arrest by the police. His Honour: How do you make out damages? Mr. Moore (who appeared for the plaintiff): A polioeman frightened him. His Honour: V.'ha.t! Did the defendant invoke the criminal law? Mr. Moore: Yes, and the deteotive told my client that if he did not ffive the clothes up he would be arrested. Mr. Digby Powell (who appeared for the defendant) said the position was this. The defendant, Mr. Joseph Phillips, was the land- lord of the George and Dragon Inn at New- port. He engaged the plaintiff in September, 1904, to work in his stables at 10s. per week and his board 'and lodging. Seeing that he was shabhily dressed, he proposed to him that -be (Simmonds) should have a suit from him that he had not long before p-aid £3 for and wear it. He was to pay £1 for it by weekly instalments of a shilling, but the clothes were not to become his property until he had paid the fill amount of £1. The plaintiff agreed to -that, but after he had only paid 8s. or 9s. he left Mr. Phillips's eervioe because Mr. Phillips had to comXn about hie CONDUCT IN THE STABLES. He returned again a little later a.nd did the same work, a.nd then left again, and was traced to Langstone, about five or six miles out of tfhe town, and had taken the clothes with 'him. Mr. Phillips also missed from the stable an .iron hammer and hoof pick, and made a report ito the police about the matter. When tlhe plaintiff's whereabouts were traced Mr. Phillips went out to Laugetone with I>otecti«e-sergetan,t Cox. Plaintiff said he had lo.<t, the hoof-pick. Has Honour (in apparentt astonishment): With a dcttective-sergeant! Detective-sergeant Cox stated that on November 21 he went out to Langs-tone with Mr. Joseph Phillips upon the instruotdong of the police superintendent, and after rawLing the report in tne orime book of the ocour- rence spoken to by Mr. Phillips, he saw the ma'i Simmonds and told him that he was a police officer, and that Mr. Phillips com- plained that he had reason to suspect that he had stolen his hoof-pick, and also had taken away a suit of olothes. He (the wit- ness) had previously told Mr. Phillips on the wy out from Newport to iJamgettone after hearing the explanation that the matter of the suit of clothes was NOT A MATTER FOR THE POLICE. His Honour: Did you sa,y anything about looking the plaintiff up? Deteotive Cox: 1 told him that if Mr. Phil- lips gave him into custody about the hoof- pick I should have to take him into custody. His Honour: You can take a man into custody like any other of the King's subjects if you see a felony committrted. Detective Cox: And if a man is given into custody? His Honour: I don't think 80. Isn't that the law, Mr. Moore? Mr. Moore: Yes. ear. His Honour (to Detective Cox): Isn't it a common, thing for a policeman to do—to Ba,y. If you don't do eo and so, I'll lock you up"P Detective Cox: No, sir. Mr. Moore: What did Phillips give you for going out? Detective Oox: Nothing a.t all. Mr. Moore: Or promise you? Detective Cox: Nothing at all. Mr. Moore: Didn't he get you to go out to frighten this man in order to get his clothes back ? Detective Cox: No; nothing of th^ sort. Mr. Digby p01teli contended that from the evidence of the defendant there was a. distinct agreement that the suit of clothes (which was taken from the house where the plaintiff had gone to at Tiangsbone) was only to become the property of the plannrtiiff when he had pa.id the full «5um. >and until then tJbetY belonged to Mir. Phillips. In 19iving judgment, has Honour said: The question of the conduct of the police is not before me maw. If tilt Ihad been, I should have had to Bay piofmotbtag which would, no doubt, foave been called very strong remarks. Bwt, as I understand the law, except in cer- "tain eases dealing with public-houses, no Policeman—no, not even a deteotive-eergeant —has amy more power than any of the King's BU'bjeots dn the master of arrest, and the only thing' wJridh justifies summary arrest is tihart. a eeea another commit a felony or to prevent a felony being com- mitted. Clearly. 'i'n tihtiB case it he policeman did not see a. <felony committed, a.nd I very much doubt whether amy felony had been roormiibteii with reference to this precious hoof .pitjk, which at most, the defendant ifBuid, !he toad mirecd, and which, the plain- tiff stated he had l«kt. I hope that the detective-sergeant will mend his ways, or he will get into trouble some day. There are two 'W!ay8 of bringing a P«r»on to justice. He may he summoned to a.ppea.r before a magis- trate, or (if a mag,i £ ?triate thinks there is a sufficient case and the matter is serious, the nia-gistnate may rissue warrant for arrest, and tlhe police can a.rrest him upon that vrarrantt. I hope that the police "will lay this to thei.r thearts. loan-not doubt tha.t the Policeman in thi £ case eaid something about arresting the plaintiff; and, con- sidering tlhe way in which he has been treated, I shaH give lodgment for the Mount of the worK !he dId in the two days when he went back, and the rest RIS damages.

WALES IN PARLIAMENT. SIR ALFRED THOMAS RE-ELECTED CHAIRMAN. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Tuesday Evening. Sir Alfred Thomafl Wail unanimously appointed sessional ohs^rmaTl of the Welsh Radical party at a j-jiceting of members held in Committee-room No.7 of the House of Commons this eve^n^- Mr. Brynmor Jones and Mr. Herbert Roberta were elected secretaries, it was also decided to move an official amendment to the Address on the subject of Welsh education. and the amend- ment was placed in the hands of Mr. Ellis Griffith, who, I learn, vfi^ be in constant attendance this session. Other amendments affecting Welsh interests will be placed on the paper by individual tnemberB, but it is very doubtful whether anf of them will ever be reached. In the ballot for Bills, the mem- bers decided to throw in their lot with the eupporter3 of the Miners' Eight Hours Bill. In previous sessions the Welshmen have not been fortunate in the draw. Mr. Ellis Griffith's amendment will bo iden- tical m terms with that which was moved last session. It will regret that his Majesty's Speech does not contain any reference to the administration of the Education Act of 1902 and the need of amendment of the same in I the Principality of Wales. Another report says:—The Weteh Parlia- mentary party at their meet^ST decided in their ballot for an opportunity fop jnt ducing Bilis to give plaCe to the Cw Eight Hours Bill and the U^t. pl^o^ a measure for the amendment of Sunday Closing Act. Weiflw "SPECIAL NEEDS AND GRIEVANCES OF THE WELSH PEOPLE." Mr. Herbert Lewis, M.P, has handed in notice of au amendment to the Address expressing regret thiat the King's Speech^ does not contain a promise of any direct Wuia- ti<>n caJeulaAed to meet the special needs and grievances of the Welsh people.

COLOFN Y CYMRY. Gan "IDRISWYN." PLE DECHREUODD Y DIWYGIAD? Dyma gwestiwn sydd erbyn hyn yn cael sylw neillduol. Lie dechreuodd y Diwyg- iad ? Enwir amryw o leoedd—Ceinewydd, Blaenanerch, Castellnewydd Emlyn, Amanford, a rhaid peidio anghofio Dow- lais. Cyhoeddir fod ugeiniau wedi ymuno a chrefydd yn y lleoedd hyny pan oedd Evan Roberts yn yr ysgol, a chyn bod son am Ddiwygiad Casllwchwr. Yn ddiddadl. yr oedd yr eglwysi yn amgylchoedd Cei- newydd wedi eu meddiannu gan ryw ysbryd o ddifrifwch angerddol; rhoddid y lie priodol i grefydd bersonol ac ysbrydol; ac nid oes amheuaeth nad oeddynt yn dal cymundeb agos a'r Nefoedd; yn wir, buasai anfoniad Evan Roberts allan oddi- yno wedi derbyn y "Bedydd tan" yn an- mhosibl o dan amgylchiadau gwahanol. Yno y "plygwyd" ef ac y gvrelodd fawredd gras Duw ac y dechreuodd waeddi allan, "O! ryfedd Ras." Ond y mae haeru fod y tywalltiad mawr wedi cymeryd lie mewn manau neillduol yn flaenorol i gyfarfod- ydd Casllwchwr yn groes i ffeithiau; a phrodoli yr arbenigrwydd a osodir ar y rhai hyny i ddamwain, eef ddarfod i ohebydd y "Western Mail" ddygwydd sylwi ar y golygfeydd ao anfon yr hanes i'r papyr hwnw, yn hollol gamarweiniol. Nis gallasai y fath arddangosiadau o'r Dwyfol ag a welwyd yn nechreu mis Tach- wedd diweddaf yn Llwchwr gymeryd lie yn unman yn Nghymru yn y dyddiau hyn heb i sylw a chyhoeddusrwydd gael ei roddi i'r hanes, yn neillduol felly pan gofir fod y wlad megys ar flaenau ei thraed er's blynyddoedd yn dyagwyl am y Diwygiad. Na, nid oes un amheuaeth i fod ar y cwestiwn, yn Nghasllwchwr y torodd y Diwygiad allan. Yno y rhwygwyd holl ffynhonau y dyfnder mawr, ac yr agorwyd ffenestri y Nefcedd, ac y dechreuodd y gawod ymarllwys ar Gymru nes ysgubo pobpeth o'i blaen. Yno y gwelwyd gwyr a gwragedd a meibion a merched a phlant wedi colli pob llywodraeth arnynt eu hunain ac yn neidio ac yn Mamu gan lawenydd a gorfoledd hyd oriau "bychain y boreu"; ie, y pethau rhyfedd a gymerai le yn nghapel y Methodistiaid a wnaeth i'r gohebydd. yn mysg cannoedd eraill, droi i mewn, ac yr oeddynt mor ofnadwy o ryfeddol fel yr anfonodd adroddiad i'r "Western Mail." Cyhoeddwyd y newydd yn mhapyrau holl wledydd cred; ac o'r dydd hwnw hyd heddyw, y mae y Diwyg- iad wedi cael sylw manwl holl newydd- iaduron y deyrnas. Cyffrowyd Cyinru, yn neillduol, trwyddi gan yr hanes; credodd fod Duw, yn ol ei hen arfer, wedi ym- weled a'n cenedl; dechreuwyd "diolch iddo" yn mhob tref ac ardal a. syrthiodd cenedl gyfan ar ei gliniau i erfyn am dywalltiad cyffredinol. EVAN ROBERTS Y PRIF OFPRRYN. Ao, yn ddiamheuol, Evan Roberts oedd y prif a'r offeryn cyntaf a lanwyd alr Ysbry d Glan; efe a anrhydeddwyd ac a ddewiswyd gan y Nefoedd i chwythu y llin oedd yn mygu yn wenfflam—fflam sy'n rhoddi Cymru yn gyflym ar dan; fflam ag y mae myrddiynau yn canu yn ei goleu. JSvan Roberts ufuddhaodd i'r alwad i adael yr ysgol yn Nghas>t«ll- newydd Emlyn i fynd i w gartref i ddecb- reu, lie roedd pawb yn ei adwaea. i ddeffro'r eglwys yr oedd wedi ei fagu ynddi ac i ddweyd am y "cariad fel y moroedd" wrt.h ei gydnabyddion a'i gyd- drefwyr. Dyma y dyn ieuanc y tybid ei tod wedi colli ei synwyrau; yr oedd ei Joranciau," fel y gelwid ei syxnudiadau y dyddiau cyntaf, mor ddyeithriol fel y credai ei gyfeilliom iod yn bryd cymeryd trugaredd arno; "gwallgofddyn" ydoedd, meddai heddgeidwad y dref, ac o'r braidd nad oedd yn barod i fynd i'r capel a'i gloi i fyny; yfid iechyd da i'r "ynfytyn" yn y tafarnau; a dywedai y beilchion a'r stoiciaid eu bod yn mynd i weled a chlywed y "lunatic"; ond fe welwyd pob un o honynt ar y degfed dydd o'i genhad- aeth wedi plygu ac yn llatnu cymaint, os mdi niny' nas Evan Roberts. Ac efe aeth allan gyntai o'i gartref i ardaloedd poblog Morganwg ac i fodyu wrthrych gwyliadwriaeth fanwl gohebwyr y wasg o bob parth o'r deyrnas; doedd ganddo Iythyr cymeradwyaeth oddiwrth neb; wyddai r eglwysi ddim am dano; nid yw'n ddysgedig nac yn ddoniol nac yn hyawdl nac yn meddu ax athrylith ddysglaer, ond eto yr offeryn distadl—i bob golwg ddynol-hwn a ddefnyddiodd Duw i am- lygu ei Hunan i Gymru yn nechreu'r ugeinfed ganrif. "Dtiw a. etholodd iffol- bethau y byd fel y gwaradwyddai y doeth- ion; a gwan-bethau y byd a etholodd Duw fel y gwaradwyddai y pethau oedyrn; a phethau distadl y byd, a phethau dirmygus a ddewisodd Duw, a'r pethau nid ydynt fel y diddymai y pethau sydd; fel na orfoleddai un cnawd ger ei fron ef." Gall hwn a'r 11all hawlio'r jm- rhydedd o fod yr offeryn cyntaf; gadawer iddynt haeru a thaeru fod Diwygiad yn y fan hon a'r fan acw cyn y toriad allan yn Nghasllwchwr yn nghyfarfodydd Evan Roberts; oe ydoedd, wyddai y wlad ddim am yr hyn oedd yn mynd yn mJaen nac am y personau oedd yn cymeryd rhan ynddynt; ond yr ydym yn gwybod am .Evan Roberts-y dyn ieuanc dmod o Gas- llwchwT—enw, trwy. ei gysylltiad a'r ■M^ygiad, sydd wedi dod yn air teulu- aidd trwy Gymru ac yn mhob teulu ^nstionogol trwy r byd. Y mae pob ,lwygiad y xnae genym hanes am dano ?r. Diwygiad Protestanaidd hyd Ddiwyg- iad Dafydd Morgan wedi gosod anrhydedd ac enwogrwydd ar ryw un person; nid r un presenol yn eithriad; a pha safle bynag a roddir mewn hanesiaeth i'r gwa- hanol bersonau sydd erbyn hyn ar y maes • 4, diwygwyr, rhaid rhoddi y lie blaenaf 1 Ji/Van Roberts a aeth allan heb ddim yn getn iddo ond cymeriad glan a ffydd ddi- ysgog yn Nuw ei dadau. CHWEDL FALEISUS. Yr wyf wedi cyfarfod droion a dynion digon haerllug i ddweyd mai gwneud a^ian yw prif nod oenhadaeth Evan Koberts, ac y mae hyny wedi ei awgrymu fwy nag unwaith yn y newyddiaduron dyddiol yn Nghymru a Lloegr. Yr wyf yn herio y nail! a'r Hall i brofi eu cyhudd- ladau, ac 1 ddwyn yn mJaen dystiolaethau diamwys i brofi eu haeriadau. Nid yw amgylchiadau y genhadaeth yn ngofal un pwyllgor na dim o'r cyfryw; Evan Koberts ei hunan. a'i ysgrifenydd, neu drefnydd ei gyhoeddiadau—y Parch. Mardy Davies, Pontycymmer—sy'n gyf- ritol am y cyfan. Yr ail Wythnoa o'i rynediad allan, pan yn M'hontycymmer, gwelodd Evan Roberts fod yn anmhosibl iddo ateb y cannoedd llythyrau a dder- byniai yn ddyddiol o bob parth o Gymru a Lloegr yn dymuno am iddo dalu ymwel- iad ar lleoedd hyny, a gofynodd i Mr. Davies ymgymeryd a'r gwaith o drefnu ei gyhoBddiadau o hyny allan. Cydsyn- lodd y gwr parchedig, ac y mae wedi gweithredu gyda doethineb a llawer o tear hyd yma. Dyna'n unig a wna, ao nid oes a fyno mewn un modd ag arian; yn WIr, nid oes wedd arianol i'r genhad- aeth o gwbl. Y cwbl a wna y Parch. Mardy Davies ydyw trefnu y cyhoedd iaaau; md wn gofyn' am sicrwydd am svvm neillduol o arian gan unrhyw ^V^f' neu eglwysi fyddo wedi ymuno i roddi r gwahoddiad, ac nid oes un cytun- deb yn cael ei wneud cyd-rhyngddynt gyda gohvg ar y gydnabyddiaeth a roddir i Evan Roberts a'i gyd-weithwyr. Wrth gwrs, fe u cydnabyddir yn mhob man, ond gadewir hyny yn hollol ar anrhydedd ac ewyllysgarwch yr eglwysi—nid oes rhwymau o fath yn y byd arnynt: y mae'r cyfan yn wirfoddol, fel y dylasai fod, objegid y mae'r gwasanaeth yn rhy Ddwylol 1 roddi pris masnachol arno. Yn wir, pan tu Mr. Davies yn Nghaerdydd yn trefllu yr ymweliad bwriadedig, ni soniodd air wrth y pwyllgor lleol am arian; a phan ofynwyd iddo pa gwm fuasam am-hydeddus i'w gynyg i Evan Roberts a'r efengylesau, atebodd y gwr parchedig fod hyny yn hollol at eu hewyllyg da hwy ac y gallent roddi yr hyn a welont yn dda. Ni bu erioed genhad- aeth a Hai o'r dynol yn nglyn a hi; dim t^jniadau rhagbarotoaxvl i benodi sjtWein- ydd neu gadeirydd a siaradwyr,$gc.; yr un casgliad i gael ei wneud yn y cyfar- tooydd; ac ijid yw'r eglwysi yiL mynd o dan yr un cyfrifoldeb ajijftol wrth wahodd a chael cyhoeddiad gan Evan Roberts. Y mae llunio y fath chweul niweidiol yn brawf eglur fod gan y "tad diafol" ddilynwyr lawer hyd yn nod yfl nghanol y Diwygiad grymus presenol; aO y mae cyfrifoldeb ofnadwy yn gorphwyS ar yr hwn a'i lluniodd a'r rhai sy'n ei lledaenu. Y mae'n ymgais faleisU8 1 niweidio Evan Roberts; rhagor, y mae # amcanu at wneud drwg i'r Diwygiad 90 yn ynivraeth a gwaith Ysbryd Duw at ein gwlad a'n cenedl. EVAN ROBERTS A OHAERDYDD. Siaredir llawer o ynfydrwydd a theflit allan awgrymiadau sarliaol ac athroduB gyda golwg ar wrthodiad Evan Roberto ddyfod i Gaerdydd. Er fod Evan Roberts wedi dewis yn hytrach fynd i ganol S wlad a'r mynyddau—allan 0 swn y byd- yn lie i dret brydferth a phrysur Cael" dydd; penderfynodd fynd i Nantymoel— pentref nad yw'n rhifo cymaint o noedd ag yw Caerdydd o filoedd; cymyd* ogaeth na allasai fforddio rhoddi chwarte| y gydnabyddiaeth a gawsai yn Nghaerj dydd; ond eto, y mae y chwedleuwyr y° taenu stori mai y rheswm dros iddo beidi" dod i Gaerdydd ydoedd fod y tal yn rhf fychan. Y mae geudeb y stori yn rby amlwg i'w gwrthbrofi; ac ni fuaswn ,111 cymeryd sylw o honi oni bae fod dvnio*| i'w cael a gredant bobpeth a ledaenir aiQ y dyn ieuanc hwn sy'n gwasanaethu ei fenedl mewn atebiad i alwad Duw fji nig; nid yw'n codi tal, ac y mae dweyd fwy nag unwaith ar goedd nad oeB arno eisieu arian—nid dyna ei a 111 can; ondcael Cymru at Grist. Pe eicaeu clod a chyhoeddusrwydd ac arian, yn sicr, 1 Gaerdydd y daethai, ac nid i fysg glowy1 ao amaethwyr canolbarth Morganwg to* I chymydogaethau Nantymoel a Maesteg Nantyffyllon a'r Cyminer a'r Caerau » Phontrhydyfen—lleoedd anghysbell itieWj t cydmariaetli i Gaerdydd. Ond er fod hoi* weithredoedd ac ymddygiadau Evan Roberts trwy'r holl amser yn cydfyned a'r hyn a draetha ac a broffesa, y rhywrai yn barhaus—dynion na fynaOj weled—yn anfon llythyrau i y papyrau newyddion yn gofyn ai hyn a'r Hall am Evan Roberts.. Yr oed« golygydd y "Western Mail" yn cael e! flino g^'maint, fel yr anfonodd ohebydd siarad a'r Parch. J. Morgan Jones, Caet" dydd, dydd Llun i gael allan y gwir 30111 gyfarfodydd Caerdydd. Mr. Jones oedj* t ysgrifenydd y pwyilgor trefnol, a dywe^ odd wrth y gohebydd gyda chryn ddigW yn ei lygaid a grymusder yn ei lais — Ni eoniwyd am arian o gwbl yn yr y° £ drafodaeth fu rhyngom ag Evan Roberta ysgrifenydd—y Parch. Mardy Davies—ac oedd a fyno hyny o gwbl a'i benderfyni*" i beidio ymweled a Chaerdydd. Yr oeddy^ wedi penodi ar swm i'w roddi iddo—ac oedd yn swm bychan—ond nid oedd gø Mr. Roberts na Mr. Davies un dychymyg ei faint. Ni o^nwyd i ni am arian, ac awgrymwyd faint a ddylem roddi am W" anaeth Evan Roberts a'i gyd-weithwyf* Ghwedl ydjnv hono wedi ei llunio i geis1^, niweidio Evan Roberts ac i waradwyddo Diwygiad; a chredaf ei fod wedi gonest i mi pan y dywedodd fod yr YsDrY- yn ei wahardd i ddod i Gaerdydd. buasai yn gwestiwn o arian, gallasem P1 yn Nghaerdydd roddi iddo gymaint MIl" gwaith ag a dderbyniai am ei yn Nantymoel. Pe gwneud arian fuasai Evan. Roberts, Caerdydd fuasai y lie cyntaJ iddo dalu ymweliad o holl drefl Cymru. TYST ARALL. Ymwelodd gohebydd arall a'r parchj Mardy Davies, ac yr oedd hwnw yr UP mor agored a diamwys yn ei atebion .'1 Parch. J. Morgan Jones. Dywedodd:- Yr wyf wedi bod yn meddwl er's ameer 1 dylesid gwrthdystio yn erbyn yr awgry^ iadau hyn a deflir allaji, er yr amheuaf wna hyny roddi atalfa ar yr ensyniad^ anwireddus. Nid oedd a fynai arian o a phenderfyni ad Evan Roberts i beid* £ mynd i Gaerdydd. Pan yn trefnu cyf3^ fodydd, ni eonir am arian o gwbl, ao wneir cytundeb o fath yn y byd gyda gol' ar y tal. Pa. swm bynag a roddir treuliau, y mae'n danysgriflad hollol w*' foddol, ac heb ei hawlio na'i awgrymu. Tybed na fydd hyn yn ddigon i roddi tj¡1f ar yr atbrodwyr a pheri iddynt guddio hwynebau mewn cywilvdd ac hiewn sach Uan a lludw? CYMRY YN GWRTHOD CRIST! Parhau i gael oedfaon rhyfedd y Evan Roberts yn mhobman ar ei ail dai^jj a thyra dyeithriaid ar ei ol o'r gymydogaeth i'r llall. Yn mysg yr welwyr yn Nantymoel yr oedd t*? boneddiges o'r Almaen, y rhai na ddeaJ* ent air o Saesneg; ehwech o foneddW^ f ac un foneddiges o Ffrainc; dau geI* badwr o China; a llu o YsgotiaidJ Saeson, yn nghyda chlerigwyr a lleyg1^ 0 Ogledd Cymru. Yr oedd yr holl wedi codi allan erbyn cyfarfod yr hirf*! ac ni chynwysai y capel mwyaf chwart6' y bobl oedd yn awyddus i glywed Roberts. Yr oedd y bobl o'r cych^y^ mewn ysbryd addolgar, a nodweddid ? canu a'r gweddiau ga.n wresogrwydd arferol; ond pan oedd Evan Roberts y siarad tua'r diwedd yr aeth y lie yn weO¡ fflam. Pan yn cymhell y gynulleidfa 1 dderbyn Crist y noson hono, dywedod. | fod y diafol yn chwerthin yn galonog ? weled y Cymry o bawb yn gwrthod derb/j | Crist, a hwythau yn byw mewn Y oedd wedi derbyn y fath freintiau trWdY d efengyl ac yn cael y fath arddangosiad^ diamheuol o'r Presenoldeb D,Y.o 11 Gyrodd hynv y gynulleidfa ar ei glinld:d mewn gweddi ar .ran y rhai digred oe 11 yn y cwrdd, ac i ganu wedi hyny am 6 bod wedi plygu. BNILL BUBfDDGOMAETH. Cafodd Evan Roberts un o'r cyfarfody' rhyfeddaf yn ei hanes yn Nghwm Og^ nos Wener. Er fod y gweddio a'r can"? a'r siarad yn hwylus a gwresog, fod rhywbeth allan o le. Dywedodd Roberts o'r diwedd ei fod yn teimlo bf0^ awvdd i fynd allan rliag ofn ei fod ef 1 rhwystr; oblegid yr oedd yn sicr fod J11. rwystrau a bod rhywrai wedi anufuddh^ i'r Ysbryd.' Gyda hyny, cododd 1 ddweyd fod yr Ysbryd wedi peri ganu a'i fod yntau wedi gwrthod.$ odd y diwygiwr fod yno lawer yn yr T!jj cyflwr a'r gweinidog; a chododd y ffVi ar ol y llall i gyfaddef eu hanufudd-d0^ i'r galwad.au nefol. Er fod y naws bell^?j yn dechreu newid, nid oedd wrth Evan Roberts, a dvma fe'n gwaeddi, ""1 mae'r diolch? Pie mae'r tan?" gyda hyny, a gwtn ar ei wyneb, cyho«d odd fod y rhwystrau wedi eu symud, thorodd y bobl allan i ganu a mohallt.J. Os oedd y cyfarfod yn un rhyfedd ar .5 dechreu, y mae'n rhyfeddaeh yn awr. fath wahaniaeth! Yr oedd y gynulleid' wedi yingolli gan lawenydd ac Roberts yn llamu gan y swyn oedd y° *u olygfa- Pan ddaeth yn unarddeg a yn symud o'r capel, awgrvmodd Roberts eu bod yn aros yno trwy'r n<> j A sylwodd ar y evfnewidiad oedd w'€ dod drc« y cyfarfod. Ar y teiinlai nid yn unig chwant i fynd a^a!jJ ond o'r braidd na ddywedai nad ai by ond hyny i bulpud. "Ond," medd8:D ''diolch i'r Nefoedd, yr ydym wedi etllpf y fuddugoliaeth." Buwyd yno hyd nos yn canu ac yn molianu ac yn gwed" Duw. DIM ANGEN LLYS YNADOL YN MAES?^ Treuliodd Evan Roberts dydd Sul X Maesteg, ac ni bu yn unlle y fath dy^r_jJ yn ei ganlyn. Yr oedd pob cynulliad J anghyfforddus yn wir, yn beryglus felb'; a buwyd dan orfod i gael cymhorth 1 y 11 heddgeidwaid. Yr oedd un o'r cap6 y yn Hawn am haner awr wedi wyth boreu, a pharhaodd y cwrdd hyd on 0 gloch; yr un fath yn y pi-ydnawn a'r —pob cornel o'r addoldy y credid Evan Roberts i fod ynddo yn llawn 011 cyn yr amser i ddechreu. Er hyny?. oedd pawb ar eu huchelfanau yn 1ll0bIlJØ yn diolch; a gwaeddai un fod angen W; ynadol i Maesteg ychydig fisoedd yn yr oeddid wedi deisebu am hyny, ob^^g dygid ugeiniau o flaen ynadon Penybo^ yn fisol; yn awr, dim ond rhyw un 11 ddau oedd wedi troseddu v gyfraith pedair wythnos; a "Diolch," meddai, | j v Diwygiad wedi gwneud livs ynadol,t Maesteg yn ddiangenrhaid—y t Ysbryd Glan wedi gwneud y gwaitli> hyny yn effeithiol." "SELFA FAWR" YN MAESTEG. | O'r braidd y gwelwyd mwy o orfol«^^ nag yn nghyfarfod nos Lun yn Maestri a.c yr oedd yr holl gynulleidfa megys ymgolli o dan y dylanwadau Dwyfo*' y* fevan Roberts yn dawnsio o lawenydd. » oedd wedi dweyd tua chanol y cyfa)*f eu bod yn mynd i gael "helfa fa^r noson hono, ac felly y bu. O canu a'r gweddio, clywid lleisiao gweddio o bob cwr o'r capel, "Wele y fan yma wedi ei achub"; a gwaed Evan Roberts yn ol, "Gofynwch cf: ragor," ac mewn ychydig eiliadao> j hoeddwyd y newydd fod eraill wedi T' eu harfau i lawr. Felly y buwyd amser hir, nes aeth y golygfeydd yn adwy—yn ormodol felly i aflu eu darlo" Cafwyd cyfarfodydd yr un mor y Garth a Nantyflyllon nos Fawrth *J* Fercher ac y mae'r ail daith yn si^ fod yr un mor hynod a'r uo gyntaf.
